Paul Slinger gets the anorak of the week award for this contribution....
The first lap antics at Brands Hatch have upset the order somewhat in terms of the number of racing miles completed by the cars. The Lister and GT Class Viper had not been seperated by any more than a lap until round 7, when Tim Harvey's mistake allowed the Storm to take charge at the top of the table. But as the Lister did not complete a single lap at round 8, it is now fifth - the new overall distance leader being none other than Brands Hatch winner, Speed 12 number 27.
Team Eurotech's mechanics can give themselves a pat on the back as their two GTO Porsche cars are the only others to complete more than 700 miles of racing this season to date. The new Tuscan (#55) is moving up the table, and is already 20th out of a total of 35 cars that have competed in the championship, whereas the more mature #99 car has also steadily improved and now lies sixth, albeit over 80 miles behind GTO points leader, car #53. Other, perhaps surprising placings, are the #70 David Dove Marcos, proving reliable in ninth (as high as seventh after the Castle Combe round) and the Ferrari 360 - which struggled to complete races earlier in the year - yet is now 10th.
The top ten, taken from the MST data, and as compiled by Paul Slinger, is as follows:
27 Speed 12 721.0526 miles
77 911GT3RS 716.3938
78 911GT3R 702.9526
53 911GT3RS 683.9686
2 Lister 642.1250
99 Tuscan R 600.9788
32 Viper GTSR 584.7750
54 911GT3RS 578.1418
70 Mantis 520.1370
60 360 Modena 513.6590
